The Concept of Canonical Intertextuality and the Book of Daniel

This volume combines an examination of the theories of intertextuality, canon criticism, inner-biblical exegesis, intratextuality, and kanonische intertextuelle Lekture with an inductive study of the Masoretic Text of Daniel, of its concrete relationship with other texts in the Hebrew Bible, and finally of quotations in the Greek text of the New Testament. The end result of this study is a theory of canonical intertextuality unique in its definition in relation to the theories investigated, as well as in its application to an entire biblical book and to other texts in the Old and New Testaments.
